----------------------------------
Summary: Please add OWASP Dependency Check to the build (pom.xml)
Key: REEF-2043
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/REEF-2043
Project: REEF
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Build infrastructure
Environment: All development, build, test, environments.
Reporter: Albert Baker
Fix For: 0.17
Please add OWASP Dependency Check to the build (pom.xml). OWASP DC makes an outbound REST
call to MITRE Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures (CVE) to perform a lookup for each dependant
.jar to list any/all known vulnerabilities for each jar. This step is needed because a manual
MITRE CVE lookup/check on the main component does not include checking for vulnerabilities
in components or in dependant libraries.
OWASP Dependency check : https://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_Dependency_Check has plug-ins
for most Java build/make types (ant, maven, ivy, gradle).
Also, add the appropriate command to the nightly build to generate a report of all known vulnerabilities
in any/all third party libraries/dependencies that get pulled in. example : mvn -Powasp -Dtest=false
-DfailIfNoTests=false clean aggregate
Generating this report nightly/weekly will help inform the project's development team if any
dependant libraries have a newly discovered & reported (known) vulnerailities. Project
teams that keep up with removing known vulnerabilities on a weekly basis will help protect
businesses that rely on these open source componets.
